ICC prosecutor opposes Duterte's renewed request for interim release
The International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor's Office is once again opposing former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's request for interim release.
The prosecutor's response, filed on August 28 and published on September 12, urges ICC judges to deny Duterte's renewed plea.
According to Deputy Prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang, Duterte's ongoing detention is crucial to guarantee his presence at trial, prevent obstruction or endangerment of investigations and proceedings, and stop him from committing further crimes.
The prosecution highlighted recent events, including the Duterte family's continued denial of the ICC proceedings' legitimacy and their claims of 'state kidnapping,' as further reasons necessitating his detention to ensure his appearance at trial.
